Captain Underpants...Meeting Dav Pilkey
On Friday 22nd May a group of children went and saw Dav Pilkey, the author of the Captain Underpants series.
We were all very excited! Dav Pilkey had a rough time at school. He learnt in a different way and back then his teacher wasn't very supportive. Dav used to make his classmates laugh and he was always drawing. He loved drawing and making comic books. His teacher would shout at him for making comic books, she thought this was a waste of time. She'd make him leave the classroom.
Dav said his teacher said something about not talking about underpants in class and the children thought this was funny. This lead to him creating the character of Captain Underpants.
Dav Pilkey lives in Japan. Guess what? He writes in a cave. Imagine having your own cave to write in. I actually think there's no other writer who has to kayak to their cave and then write.
Dave gave each school a large picture he drew of Captain Underpants.
Check out Dav Pilkey's video...Reading gives you Super Powers!

Today The Year 4 Beach house had our buddies visit us from QE2 base. We helped them to make buckets, so they can be bucket fillers too!
Here come the Aliens
Mrs Douglas read us the story 'Here come the Aliens,' by Colin McNaughton.
We like the alien pictures because they are funny looking. They eat funny stuff like toe nail soup, eyeballs, garlic jam and tentacles. The story is about how aliens what to come and attack the humans. We think everyone would like to read this story. We have this story in our school library.

How to Write a Personal Recount...

Our Library in 2014
We are back on the blog! For the last couple of years Freeville School Library has been operating the library out of the school hall, it's hard but we keep on going, we could operate a library in a box! Our School library is never going to be fixed because this is our last year as Freeville School, Christchurch, New Zealand.
Next year we will be a new merged school with a different library name...I wonder what it will be? I wonder if we'll get a new Library? Can you imagine what it all will be like?
This year we are going to write book reviews, this should be lots of fun, and next year I guess we'll see you all at a new combined Library maybe?
I've been very busy finishing off the library signage in both English and Te Reo.
